I recently set up a new site on a new host that isn't the same company the domain names are registered at. I'm used to linking to hosts through their name servers, but this time around in order to keep the emails working (they are at the same company the domains are registered at) we ended up having to link up to the new host by the A record of the server.
Now I don't know if this is related to the way we set this whole thing up, but I noticed the url to the site is listing as: www.someexample.com/~username
And where username is in that url, is the username on the account for our host.
Also for example if you went to another page it would look like this: www.someexample.com/~username/somepage.html
Is that normal? Is it because we linked up through the A records rather then name servers?
Is there anyway to get rid of the "~username" part?
